Jan 22nd
Purpose of this Series
On the Silverlight.Net Forums, I see repeated questions arise, and after a “Web Developer Conference” this morning, I realized that there really still are a lot of developers out there that have not actually tried their hand at Silverlight yet because of the perceived complexity involved.

Jan 22nd
Where We Left Off
In Silverlight With Java Script Tutorial 01, I chose not to dig into some of the more complex things, but I’m going to do that this time, but I’m only going to dig into the things not discussed in the first tutorial. If you read the More >
Silverlight With Java Script Tutorial 03 – Rectangles, TextBlocks, and Mouse Clicks
Jan 22nd
Overview
Up to now, there have been two Tutorials, but really only one Canvas. I wanted to ease into the whole HTML/XAML idea and hopefully get more people quickly involved. There’s lots yet to explore, so I thought I’d look a little at the Rectangle object this time, and also More >

Silverlight With Java Script Tutorial 09 – Modifying Radial Gradient Parameters at Run-Time
Jan 22nd
Overview
As I was playing with the Radial Gradient in Tutorial 08, I saw something I wanted to investigate further, and while I was at it, I figured it would make a good tutorial in it’s own right.
The investigation this time involves moving the Origin of the Radial Gradient with More >
Silverlight With Java Script Tutorial 10 – Dragging Objects in a Canvas
Jan 22nd
Overview
Drag and Drop has been covered a bunch in the body of Silverlight articles. I’ve done two myself! From an introductory standpoint, however, I think there’s yet room for more. For that reason, I’m going to break this into two pieces. This first one is a simple ‘drag’ showing More >
